Cheque Presentation for Local Charities

31 January 2014

The Island's largest software company, PDMS, has raised more than £10,740 for charity at a black-tie dinner to celebrate its 20th anniversary.

"We wanted to mark this milestone in the company's history with a special celebration - one that not only left us with happy memories shared with clients and suppliers but also enabled us as a company to give back something to the community that we have been a part of on the Isle of Man for the past 20 years," said managing director Chris Gledhill.

The celebration, which was months in the planning, ran into a last-minute glitch when the venue had to be changed to The Place Hotel after the fire at the Mount Murray Hotel.

"We would like to thank everyone involved in making the event such a success, especially those very supportive local companies who provided some great raffle prizes and auction items," said Mr Gledhill.

Over the past two decades, PDMS has donated more than £250,000 to local causes and provided £250,000 worth of services in kind.
